Recently read the news of "Gem", I will miss his racing days, but look forward to his offspring get the chance to win like his Dad now. He was the best looking 3yr old male to me and is and was a sure champ, won every race and beat every horse in each race that he entered and was not sick or injured in including Grade 1 and 2, will always remember the joy and how I switched gears on my top 2yr old choice when you won Jockey club at CD in as fast a time as the Breeders Cup and you took it to my top selection in the stretch, I knew and hoped after that you were a true champ!

Wish him the best and as I have said before, until he runs again and now if he runs again,which I hope he can and will do, until he runs and loses without being sick or injured I believe he is capable and will/would any race he runs in, other than his two loses, which he was injured and not well, he is undeated and grade-1 and II winner, beat Alpha for fun in the stretch, please get well my special boy

rafirox · There not going to retire him for something that will most likely be gone in a month. · 1591 days ago

AfterHours · Poor guy, people keep thinking he is a classless horse, one with no talent because of his prior two races. Yet he came out of them with some sort of ailment. He just needs one good race to redeem himself. · 1591 days ago

Well once again I say IF HEALTHY I want to see him race, whether allowance or grade-1 the next race he runs if he finishes nornally either winning or losing I will then say he is not the level I truly believe he is, wish Winstar has stayed home obvious the trip to NJ did not help regardless of outcome. PS: Was there also a displaced palat?

Gemologist ran dead last today but this was his first race back from the derby and he left the derby with a bruised foot. Some horses need a race to come back, also a'lot of horses do not like Monmouth's sandy track. A bunch of people were saying yesterday ' Alpha looked great and Is gonna win the Travers ' But yet Gemologist beat Alpha in the Wood and you yet say Gemologist should not run he's not good enough. He is good enough and needed a race.

JordynBurco · He will be back. He didnt perform well because they found an lung infection. Dont know why they didnt figure that out before the race though? · 1593 days ago

buds · Looked like the first race off of a layoff to me. Lung infection may have something to do with it, but looked like prep. Although Im not sure if Gem was polished and ready if he could have beaten Paynter. · 1592 days ago
